Solar cores of high temperatures, generate energy quicker, therefore higher temperature stars are more luminescent. Stars located on the main sequence, referred to as “dwarfs”, must generate power through hydrogen and helium nuclear fusion in their solar core and be in thermal equilibrium, the balance between luminosity and energy generation, and hydrostatic equilibrium, equality between pressure and gravity. Following the mass-luminosity relationship, hot…

Ionic bonding 8.True or False: Ionic bonds are formed…
The Hydrogen produced at such temperatures can easily explode by combining with the oxygen of the atmosphere. This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction because aluminum switches with the hydrogen. When aluminum is placed in a beaker of hydrochloric acid, the reaction produces hydrogen gas and aqueous aluminum chloride. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2Al + 6HCl = 2AlCl3+ 3H2. The reaction produces two moles of aluminum chloride and three moles of hydrogen gas.…
DISCUSSION It is clear from the very low fraction of “head-to-head” linkages that this reaction is far less energetically favorable than the “head-to-tail” reaction, which occurs normally. The head-to-tail arrangement is preferred energetically due to steric and resonance effects. When the radical attacks the fourth (double-bonded) carbon, the new radical that is produced is more stable, as it may participate in resonance with the neighboring oxygen. Conversely, when the radical attacks the…
Acid and Base Theories Final Paper In the world of science, there are three main theories for acids and bases. Those three theories are the Arrhenius theory, the Bronsted-Lowry theory, and the Lewis theory. An Arrhenius acid is defined as a substance that increases the concentration of hydronium ions in aqueous solution and an Arrhenius base is defined as a substance that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions. The definition of a Bronsted-Lowry acid is that it is a…
The garnet ferrites have the general formula RFe5O12, where R is one of the rare earth metal ions (Y, Gd, Dy, Sm, Eu, Ho, Er, Tm, Tb and Lu). The first trail for synthesis of garnet Yttrium ferrite (Y3Fe5O12) was done by Bertaut and Forret in 1956 [39], this trial was followed by another one in 1957 when Geller and Gilleo prepared and investigated Gd3Fe5O12 [40]. The garnet ferrites have complex crystal structure with cubic shape. The cubic unit cell of garnet ferrites R3Fe5O12 contains 8…
olivine surface had been reduced to metallic iron during the reduction pre-treatment with hydrogen, this result proves that metallic iron was responsible for the olivine catalytic activity. We observed a similar catalytic activity between the reduced olivine and the nickel-based catalysts tested previously [40], i.e. negligible production of hydrocarbons CH4, C2H4 and C2H6 and maximum production of hydrogen. Whereas their production is tiny even at very short reaction times, results in Figure 5…
Background Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that measures the quantity of chemicals in a reaction. This branch relies heavily on moles and balancing. A mole is a unit of measure for giant quantities. It is a number of atoms or molecules that is so large that it is only logical and convenient to use it for atoms and molecules. One mole is 6.02 x 1023 atoms or molecules. We call this Avogadro's Number. Furthermore, balancing chemical equations is the process of changing determining the…
Pentane is made up of five carbon molecules with each carbon atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. When the atom forms a structure, thirty-two double bonds are to be accounted for. The molecular geometry of Pentane shows that each central bonded atom forms a tetrahedral shape. Looking at the Diethylamine molecular structure, the central…
have strong properties of hydrogen bonding. While we thought water wouldn't mix , we predicted Dichloromethane , n-Pentanol,Methanol,Toulene and Water to mix. Again our predictions were not exact in that water did not mix with any of the substances except Methanol. This again was due to water's strong properties of hydrogen bonding, resisting to interact with molecules that do not also have strong properties of hydrogen bonding. While n-Pentanol is capable of hydrogen bonding, in reference to…
